The Frogman was an ISO rated 20 Bar Water Resistant watch, the only ISO rated watch in the G-Shock line. To earn this certificate costs quite some money and high standards (lot of testing and controls), so the Frogman (that was the GW-200 at that time) was pretty expensive. Probably the solid block of Titanium used to make the case didn't help the price come down too (When I went to Shock The World in Barcelona I was checked at the security when all bells and alarms went off, while I was sure I did not had any metal on my. I had to take off my Frogman and only one or two green lights were lighting up. There is a lot of metal in that watch.<br /><br />As for the Gulfman, it is meant to be used at Sea. So it is mainly Rust Resistant. The classic model was a solar model with a Tidegraph. Pretty useful on sea or when living near the sea (as I do). <br /><br />Now the Gulfman is probably more promoted for the Rust Resistance, because the solar GW-9100 has no Tidegraph. Luckily the new version (is it GW-9110?) has the Tidegraph implemented again. <br /><br />I hope this answers your question a bit.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SjorsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340378348442987683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463679325672599668.post-64481538383958147512010-08-26T19:13:27.928+02:002010-08-26T19:13:27.928+02:00Anybody knows what is the point of the GULFMAN ser...Anybody knows what is the point of the GULFMAN series? If FROGMAN does the same thing way better. And not to say that almost every G-Shock have 20 bar water protection.vqahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440815154002928412noreply@blogger.com
